Detailed explanation-1: -If your baby is crying and drooling excessively, they may be teething. Teething usually occurs between six months to three years of age, but may begin and end significantly later. Teething babies cry because of the pain caused by their new teeth pushing up through the sensitive tissue of the gums.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urgent message: Typical drooling is no cause for alarm in infants and toddlers. However, excessive drooling accompanied by fever or other various red flags could be signs of more serious concerns such as retropharyngeal abscess, Ludwig angina, or upper airway obstruction.
Detailed explanation-3: -If your baby is 6 months or older, you can give them healthy things to chew on, such as raw fruit and vegetables. Soft fruit like melon can soothe gums. You could also try giving your baby a crust of bread or a breadstick. Always watch when your baby is eating in case they choke.
